Attorney David Gervais, Plattsburgh, New York

Attorney David Gervais is an experienced criminal defense and immigration lawyer who has helped many clients protect their rights. He is a focused and determined advocate both inside and outside the courtroom with the necessary knowledge and skill to achieve the best resolution possible for your criminal or immigration matter. Over the course of the past 8 years and spanning well over a thousand criminal cases, Attorney David Gervais has repeatedly shown devotion to his clients. He is known for exploring all avenues in order to secure the best outcome for his clients.

For example, he has spent hours scouring acres of wilderness in search of physical evidence which supported his client’s position and after finding the evidence, he was able to ultimately secure a plea offer that reduced the prison time from 12 years down to 6. His client’s co-defendant who faced similar charges was sentenced to a 12 year term of prison in connection with this case. In a separate matter, he was successful in battling the DA’s office which vehemently opposed allowing a defendant with a lengthy rap sheet enter a diversion program. Well prepared and determined not to let his client go to prison, Attorney Gervais was successful in convincing the judge to review his initial decision and ultimately, the client avoided prison by entering the diversion program. This client was able to maintain contact with his young son, is now working and has recently gained primary custody of his son. Without Attorney’s David Gervais’ determination and skillful representation, this defendant would still be sitting in prison.
